Movie Recommendation: The Great Buck Howard

7 Reasons to see "The Great Buck Howard"

1. John Malkovich - seriously, he's an AMAZING actor. His performance is mesmerizing. He is SO into character. I love how he morphs into character and you hardly realize that it's John Malkovich!
2. Colin Hanks - He's great in this movie! Good acting is definitely in the genes. I spent a lot of the movie noticing how much he looks like his dad sometimes. When he turns his head a certain way, WOW!!!!!
3. Tom & Colin onscreen together - There's just something about a real life father and son playing a father and son onscreen (same with mother and daughter. See Natasha Richardson & Vanessa Redgrave in "Evening")...there is a dynamic that acting cannot fake when there is a real relationship. It's fun to watch!
4. Emily Blunt - this girl can do no wrong! I have never seen her do a bad performance. And she does a great American accent. (Dear Powers that Be: please release "The Young Victoria" so that Emily can be up for an Oscar for it. SHE'S AMAZING!!!!)
5. Debra Monk/Steve Zahn - two words: SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. This movie is quirky fun. It's not a blockbuster action flick, or sweeping epic. It's a cute little movie about a fading star. You'll laugh, you'll laugh...you might cry. I didn't. But it made me happy. It's a shame this movie didn't have a wider release. They put so much crap out there for everyone to see that movies like this don't get the credit they deserve!!
7. It's PG. OH MY GOSH! A GOOD PG MOVIE THAT ISN'T A KIDS MOVIE?! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!
